Dunelm's 'charming' £20 bistro garden chair 'looks great all year round'
Dunelm has wowed shoppers with the 'brilliant' bistro chair that's available in two different colours
Families gearing up for summer fun are snapping up outdoor furniture, and one particular "stunning" £20 Dunelm chair is proving to be a popular choice with shoppers. Customers love the Rattan Bistro Chair, which comes in two colour options. Customers can choose from an all-black chair or a natural chair with black accents.
Dunelm says: "This Rattan Bistro Chair is all about comfort and style, with sturdy, metal construction and a durable woven rattan seat and back. Its stackable design lets you store it indoors or out, so you can use it year-round in any room of the house that needs an extra dose of charm."
Reviewers rated the chair highly, awarding it an average rating of 4.7 out of five. However, it's just one of many options for those keen to spruce up their garden, reports the Mirror.
Elsewhere, shoppers might like the Argos Home Resin Rattan Effect Stacking Garden Chair for £14 or The Range's Outsunny Garden Chairs Set of 4 Stackable Rattan Effect for £89.99. Meanwhile, those looking for something different might prefer Next's Charles Bentley Natural Garden Wooden Director's Chairs for £110.
Reviewing Dunelm's Rattan Bistro Chair, a buyer praised: "Love the colour of this comfortable garden chair. It's solid construction with all weather finish means it will be cheering up my garden for years to come."
A second said: "These look fantastic in my garden. Great value for money." Another shopper thought: "Excellent quality and value. Looks stunning in my summerhouse/crafting studio paired with a Dunelm Jute seat pad. Highly recommend." A different reviewer added: "This is an excellent garden chair. Perfect size and such good quality. Extremely easy to move around and the price is brilliant."
A shopper commented: "Just what we needed! We don't sit in the garden that often with our variable English weather so did not want to spend a lot of money on new chairs. These fitted with our existing table, are very lightweight, stackable and excellent value. Comfy too!"
However, someone with mixed feedback wrote: "Quality of the chairs are excellent but... Very small and neat. Not built for a larger person to sit on. We had a slight problem whereby my son in Law could not fit on the chair!!! would recommend though as they are well made."
A different reviewer claimed: "I bought 4 of these chairs last year, 2 grey and 2 turquoise. Unfortunately the turquoise ones have split and are not repairable. They have been stored etc in the same way (...). I am not impressed and won't be purchasing again." Another replied: "I bought the Seafoam colour and they have lasted just two seasons - always under a cover, and stored inside over winter. Took them out this spring, and all the rattan is breaking into pieces. What a shame."
Meanwhile, someone said: "Very thin coating of paint easily scratched off before I got them home even scratched off under protective packaging cheap and cheerful but not sure they will last more than 1 year and definitely not if left outside."
Other Dunelm options include the £39 Steel Garden Chair White, £49 Riviera Chair Jade and White, and £99 Sophie Robinson Café Bistro Chair. The product description for the £39 chair states: "Comfortable and sturdy, it's ideal for relaxing in your garden or on the patio. With its simple, stylish design, this chair adds a touch of practicality and elegance to any outdoor space."

The UK's most affordable seaside town is a 'paradise' with £220,000 house prices
Relocating by the sea sounds like a dream until you see the house prices. Cornwall for one is eye-wateringly expensive, and Brighton is practically London-on-Sea. But not every seaside town requires a trust fund or a six-figure salary to move there. New research from the Co-operative Bank has revealed the UK's most affordable seaside towns — and the winners make coastal living seem like a surprisingly realistic prospect. For each place, the bank looked at average house prices, monthly rents, the house price to income ratio, and the proportion of salary that goes on rent to calculate an overall affordability score. Oban, a small town in the Argyll and Bute area of Scotland, came out on top of the list, with an overall affordability score of 9.82 out of 10. Often referred to as the seafood capital of the country, this picturesque spot offers some of the lowest average house prices (£220,458) and the most reasonable rents (£800 per month) which works out to just 34.7% of the average monthly income. You can access completely fee-free mortgage advice with London & Country (L&C) Mortgages, a partner of Metro. Customers benefit from: – Award winning service from the UK's leading mortgage broker – Expert advisors on hand 7 days a week – Access to 1000s of mortgage deals from across the market Unlike many mortgage brokers, L&C won't charge you a fee for their advice. Find out how much you could borrow online Mortgage service provided by London & Country Mortgages (L&C), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (registered number: 143002). The FCA does not regulate most Buy to Let mortgages. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. And a low cost of living isn't all it has going for itself. Located on Scotland's west coast, Oban is a harbour town known for its fresh seafood and sea views. Surrounded by a rugged coastline and rolling hills, it's considered a gateway to the Hebrides and although its population is small (home to just over 8,000 people), the town has plenty to see and do. McCaig's Tower is its most notable attraction, a colosseum-like landmark that sits above the town, offering views of the bay and nearby islands. Nestled beneath a cliff in the town centre, there's also Oban Distillery – one of the oldest in Scotland – where you can take a guided tour and sample some of its signature whiskies. Near the harbour, you'll find lots of fishing boats and ferries, along with plenty of local restaurants serving freshly caught seafood. But if history's more your thing, head just north of Oban to explore the 8,000-year-old ruins of Dunollie Castle, Experts at Co-operative Bank found two Lancashire seaside towns to be the most affordable in the UK. Morecambe came second on the list, with an affordability score of 9.8 out of 10. 'This Lancashire gem captures the essence of the English seaside and has some of the most affordable house prices in the country,' the bank says. 'The average house price here is actually lower than in Oban at £194,295, however, rent prices in Morecambe are slightly higher.' Blackpool tied with Morecambe for second place. The bank says: 'The average house comes in around £147,449 in Blackpool, making Blackpool the most affordable seaside town to purchase a property in the UK. Unfortunately, Blackpool is slightly let down by its rent prices. At an average of £704 per month, rent in Blackpool works out as 40% of the average monthly salary.' It might feel remote to some, but Oban is well-connected. Scotrail runs regular daily trains to and from Glasgow, with tickets starting from around £20. The scenic journey does take about three hours by rail, but since it runs through the Highlands, you're spoilt for beautiful scenery. Oban also serves as the main ferry port for those wanting to reach the islands of Mull, Iona and Staffa and is often used as a base for island-hopping. Oban has been described as a 'paradise' for seafood lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, and many locals have raved about life there, declaring it a 'gorgeous part of the world'. More Trending One resident on Mumsnet wrote: 'Oban is beautiful, a wonderful place to live and work. Winters are mild, being on the west coast. You get used to midges, they are not the big problem everyone thinks they are, especially by the coast, a bit of sea breeze and they can't fly so won't bother you.' Others praised its pace of life compared to the city, including Redditor Stevoknevo70 who commented: 'I've lived in Oban for six years now, wild horses couldn't drag me back to Glasgow. Wonderful place to raise a family, can be on the beach in under 10 minutes, and easy access to numerous islands.' According to Rightmove, the majority of properties sold in Oban during the last year were flats, selling for an average price of £151,783. Detached properties sold for an average of £351,993, with semi-detached properties fetching £227,786. View More » So, while you might not secure a five-bedroom beachside property for £200,000, there are definitely affordable options. Oban – £220,458 (average house price) Morecambe – £194,295 Blackpool – £147,449 Troon – £225,977 Filey – £213,669 Scarborough – £202,600 Whitby – £253,519 Southport – £239,472 Dunbar – £327,821 Swansea – £200,648 Do you have a story to share?
